Why Am I Me?

(2) PS Illustrated by Sean Qualls & Selina Alko. A boy and a girl of different skin colors board a subway car. Each child quietly ponders questions posed by the lyrical text: "Why am I me...and not you?" Textured illustrations, in acrylic paint, colored pencil, and collage, reflect the beauty and diversity of the other people pictured. When the two children finally speak to each other, their simple "hi"s offer connection across space and difference.
